    Backup, reinstall, restore Proxmox server with all disks on NFS

    My server cannot shut down, so I was thinking of trying a reinstall. See https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/system-reboots-immediately-after-shutdown.54092/

    Backup, reinstall, restore Proxmox server with all disks on NFS

    Hi all, My Proxmox server has all VMs / CTs stored on an NFS share. What is the best way to back up all VM config, reinstall Proxmox, and then restore the VM configs (all while leaving the disk images on the same NFS server). Thanks!

    System reboots immediately after shutdown

    Hi all, I am running a SuperMicro X10SDV-6C+-TLN04F board. When I just down I reach the "reached target shutdown" systemd message and then a reboot initiates. Pretty standard setup except that my VMs are all stored on an NFS share. I've ensured that my BIOS isn't set to auto-boot and that it...

    Trouble compiling Rocket 750 HBA drivers

    My server has a HighPoint Rocket 750 card. When I try to install the drivers (available here: http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA_new/series_r750-Download.htm) I get the below errors when building: https://pastebin.com/3jKgYcyh It looks like the installation script essentially tries to use...

    How do I then assign my VMs to one of these manually created bridges? GUI doesn't allow.

    One bridge per VLAN

    I have my installation currently set up so that vmbr0 includes my primary NIC (eno1). VLAN tagged traffic comes into eno1 and so I can select which VLAN goes to each virtual NIC for my VMs by setting the VLAN tag field on each virtual NIC. I would like to transition to a setup where I have one...

    "Start all VMs and Containers" task "waiting for quorum ..."

    Hi all, I changed my Proxmox instance's IP address in the GUI and updated the address in /etc/hosts Now when I reboot the "Start all VMs and Containers" task shows a status of "waiting for quorum ..." and my VMs don't start. This host is a single node (although it was previously part of a...

    Random crashes after 5.0 reinstall

    I upgraded to version 5 and now have occasional crashes. No records left in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages, system just goes down. Logs are silent until it boots itself back up. Hardware is SuperMicro X10SDV-6C+-TLN4F. Anybody running into anything similar? Any tips on getting to the...

    LVM VM migration path to new installation

    Hi, Update on this -- I backed up to an external hard drive. Once I reinstalled Proxmox on new hardware when I restored it was still asking for the disk images on the old drive. I went ahead and connected the old disk and I was able to run the restores. Did I do something wrong? I was...

    Understanding default ZFS RAID10 setup

    Got it & thanks for the CODE hint. I did check with a partition tool earlier and was confused why they were not on all disks. I suppose this is because if both sda or sdb were bad the pool would be broken regardless so there is no point having those partitions on more than sda and sdb. Am I...

    Understanding default ZFS RAID10 setup

    Thanks for the response -- that makes sense. I went and checked the bytes per disk however, and they look the same: root@ProxBox:~# lsblk -b NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 4000787030016 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 1031168 0 part ├─sda2...

    Understanding default ZFS RAID10 setup

    Hi all, I just installed Proxmox 5 on a 4 disk ZFS RAID 10. This is the disk config am running after the install: I am a little confused by how the installer laid out the ZFS structure and partitions. Here are my drives: root@ProxBox:~# lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda...

    LVM VM migration path to new installation

    Perhaps I wasn't clear -- I am doing away with the m.2 & SATA SSD and want to completely move over to a system with ZFS underneath for both the OS and and VMs. My new PVE system would have just the ZFS pool for the FS and none of the existing storage mounted. Thank you.

    LVM VM migration path to new installation

    Hi all, Currently my setup is: m.2 SSD with Proxmox install SATA SSD with LVM VMs I want to reinstall Proxmox over ZFS and am wondering how to move over my VMs. Is it as simple as backing up to external media using the built in backup function and then restoring? Is there a better way to go...
